Don Auto Center

I decided to get an oil change 2 weeks ago before I headed out for a long drive out to Las Vegas. It was a good thing I decide to go to Don Auto Center. Although I was in a rush, the mechanic did a very thorough check of my car and actually found out that my tires were very bare. The drive up to Vegas and back would have been very scary if the mechanic at Don Auto didn’t catch that (it was very windy driving up and rained heavily on the way back). I would recommend this auto shop over many others! Fast, thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly!

I’ve been coming here on a friend’s recommendation ever since I moved out to Orange County. The prices are cheap, the service is great and they finish in a timely manner. Since I’ve been coming here I have always felt that they were honest. I’d recommend this place to anyone that’s looking for an all around no hassle experience.

Don Auto has been my go-​to spot for basic maintenance service, ie. Oil changes, tire rotation/​inflation, brakes, headlights.
They provide top notch attentive service at a extremely reasonable price as well. The crew is very knowledgeable with cars old and new, even hybrid vehicles (which a lot of old school shops refuse or know how to service).
They get you in and out quickly, so you have time to get all your other weekend errands outta the way too! I’ve always been 100% satisfied with their work, they are very helpful with follow-​up questions post service as well. They are good with both English and Vietnamese languages.

My family’s go to for maintenance on all our cars. Service is honest, fast, and reliable. We’ve shopped around a couple of places and Don’s Auto has been the most consistent in terms of service and quality. Their mechanics are very knowledgeable, honest, and handsome. They don’t push you to buy or pay for any services that you don’t need so that’s always nice.
Call ahead of time to see if they’re busy, they are pretty good at estimating the flow for the day and recommending a different time or day if they are too backed up.

The best thing about these guys are not only the cheap and reasonable prices or their quick turn around time; it is their honesty, which is hard to come by nowadays.
I would come in thinking I need some things to be changed: pumps, belts, timing belts, etc; however, they would straight up tell me most of my things are still good and only need to change a few minor things. They could’ve made much more money off me, but they’re not there to take advantage of you.
Fast, cheap, honest, and reliable mechanics. These guys have me as a lifetime customer due to their honesty alone.

I recently came by to get my wheel hub replaced. I bought the wheel hub online and was planning to only pay for the labor. Well. bad on my part… After the car was lifted the wheel hub removed on my car… My replacement part didn’t fit! So they called me and suggest for me to call the dealers to place a special order since my car isn’t a popular car none of the places around had them in stock. My car will be stuck on the lift for 4 days + over the weekend, I felt bad because that’s one less lift for them to use. I told them to just put my new wheel bearing in my old wheel hub and take it off the lift, meaning I will have to buy another wheel bearing. Owner of the place told me, «no save your money, we don’t want you to waste your money on something so small, we can still work on the other lift» which I believe they only have 2. BAM! customer for life!

the workers here are thorough and prices are exceptionally reasonable and affordable. great exepreince all around!

I have been coming here for years to get my oil changed. My family introduced me to this place and I have been hooked since. They are always super nice and efficient. There’s a waiting room where you can relax and wait for your car and the place is super clean. If I ever had to choose a place to go I always come here. Their prices are also really low. I only pay $ 20 for my oil change instead of like $ 45 at a dealership. They get your car in and out pretty fast and all the mechanics are really nice. Don is really nice and welcoming too!

Ive been to Pepboys and a Mitsubishi dealership its sad to say the experience between the two cant compare to Don Auto Center knowledge of vehicles. Don auto is the only place that helped me get a deal with my oil changed, timing belt, water pump and serpentine belt. They also do the job correctly. Love this place definitely recommend this to every person that has car troubles.

Took my car to Don’s Auto Center to get oil changed, breaks changed and other problems with my car. Don always took his time to explain clearly what and why problems with my car, his recommended what it needs to replace only. Don’s Auto Center provides an excellent service, honest, and good price too.

Since I found this place, it became only place that I trusted to bring my cars to. Don always took time to explain clearly what and why problems happened with my cars. His knowledge and expertise always made me feel that my car is in a good hand.

I’ve been a longtime customer since they were on Moran St and travel approx. 35 mins from Irvine (well worth the drive). I typically visit these guys when I need an oil change and regular services. They are always straightforward about how long services will take.
My recommendation is to call ahead to set up an appointment since they can get fairly busy at times!

Love this place!
I’ve been here twice and there are usually a lot of cars getting work done here. But they have enough staff that I haven’t waited longer than an hr. Both tines I went in was for an oil change and tire rotation at various times during the day. My morning visit was pretty darn fast, I think only 30−40mins.
Even though its a new location, they used to have another place. The other place had a smog check which is what I went for. So I guess I’ve been to these guys 3 times then :) I would imagine they do smog check here too… Don’t quote me on that

Took my company van here to get an oil change. There were so many places to choose from. Luckily I chose Dons. He quoted me 25 for a 6 quart vehicle. Damn was I surprised and happy. Other places would’ve charged 30 – 40 and luckily it wasn’t a busy day (Friday 11am). Got my oil change and asked him if I needed an alignment for my car and he said no bc my car shouldn’t get one… I was impressed. Honest fast and cheap

I’ve been going to Don Auto Center for years. They were formerly on Moran Street in Westminster but when they relocated, I followed!
Don’s shop provides excellent, professional, and quick service for all my car needs. I’ve gotten oil changes, Star smog checks, brakes changed, axels changed and every other thing that my crappy car needed!
What keeps me coming back is that they’re honest. I’m a girl and the auto shops I’ve been to in the past would upcharge me for every unnecessity. Don’s team keeps it real– they suggest and recommend but are never pushy! Thank goodness.
Thank you Don and all the mechanics for making the process easy peasy for me!
